SHARP In LUDLOW STREET JAIL.
Confined in Bill Tweeds Old Room
Where Things Are Made Easy and
Pleasant as Money Can Buy.
New York, June 19.-Jacob Sharp slept
in Ludlow street Jail last night, and he will
continue to sleep there every night until his
trial is ended. After the jury had been
sworn in on Wednesday Judge Barrett de-
livered him over to the custody of Sheriff
Grant, with the information that the sheriff
would be held responsible for his safe keep
ing. He suggested, however, that as Mr..
Sharp's health was bad he be allowed to
sleep at home. Under Sheriff Sexton under
took to take charge of Mr.. Sharp at the lat
ter's home, but he announced yesterday that
he was unwilling longer to bear the respon-
sibility.
Nothing was said in court about this until
10 o'clock when the days work ended. Then
the counsel for the defence were notified land
long conference ensued between them,
Judge Barrett and Sheriff Grant. The latter
was surprised to learn that he had been in
dividually responsible for Mr.. Sharp's keep
ing ever since Wednesday. "Well, then, I
shall lock him up" said the sheriff. ct
don't see why 1 should have all the worry of
looking after him." Mr.. Sharp's counsel
pleaded hard, but their prayers were
of no avail. Mr.. Sharp was taken down
into the sheriff's Office, where he re-
manned until after 2 o'clock. Then, in
charge of Under Sheriff Sexton and Deputy
Sheriffs Burke and Curran, he was driven to
the jail. Warden Heating was asked by Mr..
Sharp to give him as comfortable quarters as
he could for cash. Warden Heating and his
family have been using the two large rooms
which served the late William M. Tweed and
Ferdinand Ward as temporary lodgings, but
the warden said Mr.. Sharp could have the
rooms. The windows have two heavily iron
barred windows facing on Ludlow street.
They are large and furnished with bright
Brussels carpet, blue plush-covered chairs
and sofas and large soft bed. The walls
are covered with paintings and engravings.
Mr.. Sharp said the rooms suited him very
well, and he asked Under Sheriff Sexton to
drive home with him to get some necessary
clothing. Mr.. Sexton assented, and three
hours later Mr.. Sharp returned to the Jail
with plenty of baggage. His n-in-law, John
Fl. Selmes returned with him and will prob
ably live in the Jail with him until the trial
is ended. Mr.. Sharp was stretched out in an
easy chair, similar to the one used by Ward,
when reporter sent in his card requesting
an interview. Mr.. Sharp refused to be inter-
viewed. He will eat at the boarders' table
unless he desires his meals served in his room.
This will cost him SIS a week, besides what
he pays Warden Heating for the use of his
furniture and the Inconvenience he is putting
him to. Mr.. Sharps family can visit him as
often as they please.

DUBLIN, June 19.-Mr. William O'Brien
arrived here this evening and was received
with the greatest ovation witnessed here in
many years. He was met at the railway sta
ton by the lord mayor and corporation and
by Messrs. Davitt, Kenney and others. Mr..
O'Brien entered the lord mayors carriage,
which was then dragged along by crowd of
citizens, the horses having been detached.
A procession followed composed of thousands
of citizens with bands, banners, etc. A
deputation of the Gaelic Athletic society
comprising hundreds of members all dressed
in costume joined the procession. The route
of procession, extending two miles, was
densely packed with people and all the win
dows along the line were crowded. Having
arrived at the hotel the lord mayor from the
balcony proposed cheers for O'Brien, Davitt,
the Bodyke tenants and Gladstone, and
groans for Landsowne, all raekrenting land
lords and Salisbury. The responses were
lusty. Mr.. O'Brien spoke briefly, his voice

NAVAL OFFICERS VIEWS.

Finds New Haven Harbor Has Impor.
tant Advantages The Charts Do Not
Give-Increase of The Depth of Wa
ter-MIght Have Landed AT Long
Wharf.
Captain Green of the Yantic dined with
Captain Townshend yesterday and afterward
paid visit to the Townshend homestead
in the Annex. Captain Green says we have
one of the finest harbors the New Eng
land coast and that it is sure to be frequent
ed hereafter by ships of the United States
navy for many reasons. It is near to New
York, supplies are good and reasonable in
price, the climate healthful, and it is just
the port to stop at to recruit crew, espec-
tally when just from tropical ports, as is
his case, they having just arrived from AS
pinwall.
He finds the harbor spacious and good
depth of water, with anchorages second to
none He brought his ship up to the hole
of Fort Hale, where he finds four fathoms of
water at low tide. He sounded the whole
way up and crossed the bar an hour and a
half before high water, drawing not less than
twenty feet. He and the other officers of
the feet are very enthusiastic over the break
water where, with an east wind, they found
perfect refuge. He says that the depth of
water where the feet anchored is very much
greater than shown by the charts used which
were made before the breakwater was built,
which is proof that something has caused
the deepening of the entrance of the port.
This, he says, all goes to prove that the
United States engineers theory is correct that
by concentrating the tide the scour of the
tidal currents must carry seward the silt and
mud which would collect naturally. Had the
admiral known the harbor had such deep
channel the "Yantic" would have come up
to Long Wharf and landed the naval battal-
ion. There was twenty-five foot tide that
day.
A gentleman who learned Captain Green's
views said: Now is the time for new de-
parture. Let our citizens one and all unite
in assisting the efforts made to improve our
harbor and support Colonel Houghton's rec
ommendation for 100000 more for break
water and $780, 900 for dredging AS to
dredging money, every cent of It could be
spent advantageously between Belle dock
and Long wharf.
Captain Green drove as far as the old
lighthouse, where he was shown the U. S.
signal station and the new wharf at the
Grove House, a most excellent landing.
There is also a telephone and omnibus sta
ton at the Point and mails are
delivered daily. A line of battle
ships can now lie within hailing dis
lance of the lighthouse, which makes
the lighthouse a most valuable point fol

THOSE SANDWICHES.
General smith Says There Was PIE

General Smith Says There Was Plenty
of Food for the Militia ON MOnu-
ment DaY-He Personally Investfgat-
ed-max ThaIheimer Indignant.
Mr.. Thalheimer is indignant at the re-
ports as to his catering Monument day
and says he furnished more than the con-
tract called for and more than enough to fed
twenty-five hundred, which was what he had
engaged to do, and that there was an album
dance left over. He said that the meats had
to stand two hours in the hot weather
on account of the procession's delay
in arriving and that he had his
walters supply fresh pieces in place
of those that had been exposed; that there
were twenty-five hundred sandwiches be-
sides other meats, pickles, crackers and cheese
and pie, and that there were six hundred
and twenty-five pies served. He was called
to furnish three hundred gallons OF coffee,
whereas SO thereby were the men that he
served four hundred gallons. The fruit
bananas and oranges-was served by others,
not being in his contract. The walters said
some of the visitors drank from four
to seven cups OF coffee lndl-
vidually. Mr.. Thalheimer thinks injustice
has been done him.
General Stephen R. Smith was enquired of
last evening in regard to the detrimental
statements made against the catering done by
Max Thalheimer on Monument day. This
caterer had the contract to feed the militia.
He said as a member of the committee in
charge he had visited the mess tent and had
investigated thoroughly. He found by actual
count there was a sufficiency of food left
over to feed four hundred men. He had also
detailed an officer to the same work. He did
not wish to say much about the matter at the
present time, but was of the opinion that the
statements made derogatory to the caterer
ware groundless and uncalled for.
DR.. E. L. Bissell was seen by a reporter
| last night He said that the article in g
Sunday paper about Thalheimer's catering
| for the military companies at camp was un-
true. He said he could not see how any one
man could believe that a person would boil
a chicken with the feathers on and entrails
| not removed. Dr. Bissell says that as an in
| spector at camp three years ago he had 6
| little difference with Thalheimer because the
latter probably did not know how strict were
| the sanitary regulations at camp. He saw
Max throw the entrai1s of a chicken under
| the table, and that was what caused the
| trouble. He never had to say any more tt
| Thalheimer about his catering than to an,
other caterer. He says Thalheimer admitted
that he was little slack. Last year at camp
| DR.. Bissell states that Thalheimer did well
He says that the article in question, although
attributed to him, did not come from him

Bank Directors individually Liable.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 19.-An important
decision has been rendered by the Supreme
court in bank case which has been in the
courts for several years. Gardner Case was
a depositor in the Bunker Hill bank at Bun
ker Hill, Ill. The bank failed while holding
his deposits, and he brought suit against the
directors individually, setting up the claim
that if deposits were received when the di-
rectors, by exercising due diligence, might
have known that the bank was insolvent,
they were legally liable for the deposits.
The Circuit court of Macoupin county gave
Judgment in favor of Case, and the defend
ants appealed to the Appellate court, which
affirmed the decision Of the court below.
The case was then carried to the Supreme
court, which again affirmed the decision of
the court below. The opinion declares the
following doctrine: First, that the directors
of bank are trustees for the depositors as
we'll as for the stockholders. Second, that
they are bound to the observance OF ordinary
care and diligence, and are hence Liable for
injuries resulting from its non-observance.

FIVE REASONS

Why the Great Parade Was One of
Great Note Aside From Its Vast Pro-
portions.
General E. S. Greeley says the parade on
Dedication day was remarkable for five
things. 1t was the only parade New Haven
has had, or in the State, where all the mill
tary organizations of the State have have
been assembled together, and in this case
they were for the first time in regular army
uniform. 1t was the only procession where
a naval battalion turned out. 1t was the
only one where battalion of schoolboys and
children were attired in special costumes.
The only one where such a large array of
generals of the war and other distinguished
persons were present. The only procession
where the whole day passed off without the
loss of life or limb.
There were two or three minor accidents
on the line, such as where two officers not
used to bestriding chargers were pitched off
by the FESTIVE beasts, but otherwise there
was little trouble. Several ladies out near
the rock, who screamed in staccato voice
when on Farnam drive an unruly horse per
sisted in going backward instead of forward,
and seemed about to descend upon them.
